Have to post from today's Hike which I title Spring has finally come to the Northern Midwest.
We are a lot further north than you but most trees have leafed out by now. My Mock Orange shrubs and the Chestnut tree are full. I guess some details of geography are more important than latitude. I have friends on an island in the UP and my former partner had a house near Traverse City (near the Sleeping Bears sand dunes). I should visit my friends in Michigan sometime.

Posted by CallMeDaveI've never been a big wildflower person, but this is the season for it here in Appalachia. Other people can identify every variety. I'm not there yet.
